Today, South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics announced the availability of the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for its Galaxy S II smartphone.
The company promised this update ever since Google made the new platform version official, but did not deliver specific info on when it might be released.
Today, however, the company started to roll out the update and also made the official announcement on its availability.
Starting today, the update will be delivered to Galaxy S II users in a series of European countries and in the company’s homeland.
According to Samsung, the countries to receive the new software update at the moment include Poland, Hungary and Sweden in Europe, and South Korea in Asia.
However, the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich software update is expected to be released in more markets around the world as well, as part of the gradual worldwide roll-out that Samsung kicked off today.
Additionally, the leading mobile phone maker announced plans to offer the update to GALAXY Note, GALAXY SII LTE, GALAXY Tab 8.9 and GALAXY Tab 10.1 devices soon, but did not offer a specific timeframe.
“Samsung Electronics has completed upgrading the GALAXY devices to Gingerbread last year by providing software upgrades to both Froyo and Gingerbread. With the ICS upgrade, Samsung Electronics has solidified its position as the leader of Android devices,” the company stated.
The handset vendor also unveiled plans to deliver Android 2.3 Gingerbread upgrades to the owners of GALAXY S, GALAXY Tab 7”, GALAXY S Plus, GALAXY S SCL (Super Clear LCD), and GALAXY W phones starting with the end of March.
There will be new features added into the mix, such as Face Unlock, Snapshot, Photo Editor and others for the GALAXY S devices.
“The availability and scheduling of the software update and specific models upgradable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers’ requirements,” the phone maker concluded.
